Broken Hearts and Painted Nails
Embracing Pain: Broken Hearts, Painted Nails
Lyrics
Broken hearts are not so bad
Broken hearts may not be as terrible as perceived
Look at me, hey, I've been had
Reflecting on personal experience of being deceived or hurt
A broken heart's what I have tonight
Currently experiencing a broken heart
Painted nails will rip your shirt
Using an appearance-related element that can cause damage or harm
Will make you scream, hey, make you hurt
Highlighting the potential consequences of painted nails
Broken hearts and painted nails tonight
Connecting the idea of broken hearts and harm-inflicting elements
Rusty keys and old motels
Referencing old, worn-out keys and motels
Nothing new, hey, no thrills
Indicating a lack of excitement or novelty
Rusty keys and old motels tonight
Reiteration of the state of rusty keys and old motels
And staring at the phone, hoping it'll ring
Waiting for a call or communication, anticipating company
Friday night, yeah, no big thing
Friday night holds no special significance
I'm staring at the phone in my old motel tonight
Being in an old motel, expecting a phone call
I could just watch you seriously
Observing someone intensely and earnestly
Like a science project curiously
Comparing the observation to a scientific study, with a hint of detachment
All alone I am the walking dead
Feeling emotionally disconnected or numb
Would you soothe my aching head?
Seeking comfort or solace from the person being observed
C'mon, soothe my aching head
Expressing the desire for relief from emotional pain
Telegrams and old love letters
Referencing old-fashioned communication methods and reminders of past love
I got your scent on all my sweaters
Memories of a past relationship lingering on personal items
Telegrams and clothes that smell like you tonight
Associating reminders of past love with the present night
'cause broken hearts are not so bad
Reiteration of the idea that a broken heart may not be overwhelmingly negative
Look at me, hey, I've been had
Revisiting the experience of being hurt or deceived
A broken heart's what I have tonight
Reiterating the current experience of having a broken heart
Yeah, a broken heart's not so bad tonight
Suggesting that a broken heart might not be too unbearable tonight
